How Hot and Cold Sleepers Can Achieve Snooze Nirvana
Two people in bed, one pulling the covers off while sweating, the other bundled up with a scarf and hat.

Sleep, that glorious escape from the daily grind, a respite where worries melt away and dreams take flight. But for some, the path to slumber isn't paved with fluffy pillows and sheep-counting serenity. It's a battleground. A battleground fought not with swords and sorcery, but with blankets and air conditioners. In one corner, we have the fiery furnace – the hot sleeper. In the other, the human popsicle – the cold sleeper.

For the hot sleeper, bedtime is an exercise in sweaty frustration. Sheets become clingy enemies, blankets unwelcome suffocators. Every toss and turn stokes the internal flames. They dream not of sugarplum fairies, but of icy waterfalls and arctic spelunking adventures. Their ideal slumber spot? A walk-in refrigerator, perhaps secluded amongst the chilled vegetables.
